Quote History Quoted: Are you saying the clip on wouldn't even be good for a scope?
It works very well as a scope. Your question was using it on a helmet. A 3x power, helmet mounted, scanner that you have to thread on an eyepiece would not be ideal for a helmet.
[b]Quoted:Seems like the way to go since you can put it on any rifle without having to sight it in
This is actually not true. With the Hogster C, you can have 4 different scope profiles. You can't just stick this on the end of any day scope, and it just works. There are actually two mounting options. You can go with a picatinny mount or a direct mount on the end of the optic. If you go with the direct mount, you will need an adapter on each day scope, and on top of this with either mounting method, you will have 4 different zero profiles. You zero it with a day optic. You are able to adjust the Hogster - C screen as a unique zero for each day scope, and this is required.
Night Goggles sells more than 100 to 1, stand alone Hogsters vs clip ons. It isn't that the clip on isn't good. However, you get a lot more versatility with a stand alone scope, plus the equivalent stand alone scope is at least 1K less expensive, and you are adding a lot of weight with a day scope and thermal clip on. This is not unique to Bering as Pulsar and many other clip ons work the same way.
